If you like gore and The Walking Dead, this book will appeal to you. The first part is gory when Alex witnesses teenagers eating another human, and the novel ends with gore.
Alex has a brain tumor and has decided to hike toward Lake Superior. We don't find out until later in the novel why that is her destination. While hiking she meets a grandfather with his granddaughter Ellie, who is a brat. While they are talking, something happens and Alex has a major headache and nosebleed. Ellie's grandfather dies, and the animals around go crazy and commit suicide.
Now Alex is stuck with Ellie, and they both travel toward a ranger's cabin for help. On the way they are attacked by wild dogs and a zombie but are saved by Tom a former soldier. Those three travel together trying to survive. At one point Ellie is kidnapped, Tom is shot, and when Alex goes to try to find help, she is held against her will. Alex struggles to find Tom and Ellie, and Bick ends the novel with Alex in another predicament that I am going to have to read the next book to find out what happens.
